I’ll let [this bit of good news](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-35167933) speak for itself.

> [@BBC](#):
>
> A three-year-old girl helped her heavily-pregnant mother call 999 after she fell down the stairs…
> 
> Mrs Bazzard had ruptured her placenta so if she had not got help, the medical emergency would have become far more serious.  
> Although Emma had not been told about dialling 999, her five-year-old brother had been learning about the emergency services at school and round the dinner table the family had a discussion with him about what to do.

Well done, young lady!

It’s like something out of “Call the Midwife.”
